Answer: [tex]y=-\frac{14}{5}[/tex]
Solving Linear Equations:
- Simplify each side if necessary
- Isolate the variable: use properties such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to get the variable on one side and the rest terms to the other side of an equation.
Solution with Steps:
[tex]14 =-5y[/tex]
[tex]\frac{14}{-5}=\frac{-5y}{-5}[/tex] - divide both sides by -5 to isolate for the variable
[tex]-\frac{14}{5}=y[/tex] - simplify to get your final answer
